“belongs to white ethnicity”? Racist much? WTF??
Badly written robot grammar. But white is a fairly common ethnicity category in some parts of the world (for instance Great Britain). So I’m not sure how describing someone as white could be considered racist (especially since race and ethnicity are two separate concepts, and race is a social construct anyhow…but now we’re going down a rabbit hole).
That is always the case.
Look t what is happening to out national monuments.
But you can bet your ass if it were a black monument of Rosa Park or MLK nothing would be said.
